I once listened to Edward Teller lecture at a hostile 'progressive' audience at MIT. He was a very charismatic speaker and could 'hypnotise' his Progressive opposition. He reminded me of earlier lectures in college by Martha Nussbaum on Plato. She essentially pushed Nietzsche
Both of them seem to have learned from Heidegger whom I think was the source of this 'alchemical knowledge' (how to hypnotise students) in the 20th century.
Both of them curiously reminded me of CS Lewis and his 'The Silver Chair' (of the 7 planetary spheres in that series, the lowest, about Luna)
Nussbaum used a sing-song voice, and dressed in those days a flirty Femme. She consciously tried to *seduce* her audience, to her interpretation of Plato. I learned young (1980), that such people are not be trusted.
However, my observation of Teller and his captive MIT progressive audience taught me a lot.
